Long Shadows

Here are some of my photos from my class excursion to the South Bank of the Thames on Monday. The shadows at this time of year are so incredibly long -- the photo above was taken about 3 p.m., and the last of the photos about an hour later.

Yesterday we went to the Berwick Street Market and to Chinatown with some specific assignments, and today I'm supposed to shoot a photo essay on something within my postal code. (Today is homework day.) Tomorrow the class reconvenes!

Reya: Yeah, when he said we were doing shadows, I was pretty happy. :) The class is only five people, and one of them dropped out on Tuesday because of child care issues -- so it's a pretty intense group! We meet four days a week, and Wednesday is homework day, when we shoot an assignment.

About Me

I'm an American living in London with my partner, Dave, and our dog, Olga. My idea of the perfect day is taking a long walk and bringing the camera. I began this blog to show off my photos, but gradually added words to the mix. Now, it's more or less my daily journal.
